Don’t panic. Control it. Most projects do not lose control because nobody reported the issue. They lose control because nobody challenged it early enough.
I’m looking for cost, risk and project controls people who can spot exposure before the report catches up.
I’m recruiting for several long-term roles on a confidential major industrial delivery programme in South Wales.
This is a live, site-led project controls environment where cost movement, risk exposure, change visibility and forecast confidence need to be understood early — not explained after the damage is done.
Current requirements:
Project Cost Controllers
3–4 roles | £400–£500/day
Project Risk Controllers / Risk Analysts
2 roles | £400–£550/day
Lead Cost & Risk Manager
1 role | £550–£650/day
*Room for negotiation up for the right people*

South Wales-based
Site-led environment, with flexibility depending on role level and project rhythm
Some roles are pure reporting. These are not.
The best fit will be someone who understands:
- why cost is moving
- whether the forecast is believable
- where change is starting to bite
- what risk is actually owned
- how cost, schedule and commercial position connect
- what needs escalating before it becomes expensive
I’m especially interested in people who have worked close to live project delivery — not just central PMO reporting.
Relevant backgrounds could include:
- Major projects
- Industrial programmes
- Energy
- Utilities
- Infrastructure
- Manufacturing
- Process plant
- Heavy engineering
- Construction
- Project controls consultancy
This will not suit someone looking for a fully remote reporting-only role.
It will suit people who want to help turn project information into control decisions.
